You Want To Build And Fly A What???
 Book Number One
By Dick Starks
Published by Butterfield Press
(Dick was awarded Flying Magazine's Bax Seat Trophy at Oshkosh 2001 for perpetuating the Gordon Baxter tradition of communicating the excitement and romance of flight.) 
"Dick Starks' tribulations and loss of innocence are your gain. His mixture of humor, philosophy, and technical stuff offers a unique insight into the slightly warped mind of a dedicated aircraft homebuilder."
-Dave Martin, editor of KITPLANES

 

"Dick has truly caught the flavor of learning to fly as well as the trials and tribulations of building an airplane . . . with his great sense of humor adding some spice."
-Mary Jones, editor of EAA Experimenter

 "This is a great story of affordable personal aviation seldom told outside of the sometimes tight little circle of the Experimental Aircraft Association aero-nuts."
-Frank Kingston Smith, author of Weekend Pilot

"He bumbles, fumbles, and stumbles at even the most simple tasks, yet lives. Worse than that, he has the utter lack of shame to sit down and reveal it all in this book. . . For all his confessions of fear and humble bumbling, the man has the most direct thinking process, understands what he wants, goes for it without a lot of shilly-shallying, and is also a quick study."
-Gordon Baxter, columnist for FLYING

The continuing adventures and misadventures of the Kansas City Dawn Patrol and their World War One Nieuport Fighters.

Profusely illustrated. Foreword by Scott Spangler. Reviewed by Kitplanes Magazine, Light Sport Aircraft and Scott Spangler.

Edited by Sharon Starks, Cartoons by Sharon Starks, Cover design by Doreen Hann.

Everyone needs an “airport bum” like Dick Starks. For the days when the flying is bad but the adult beverage is good, no one spins an outrageous tale—more or less based in fact, or things that have been shown a picture of fact—like Dick. Come to think of it, not many can get away with using the word “Fokker” in polite company, either. But best of all, Dick’s tales of flying WWI replicas for airshow enthusiasts and the occasional Marvin are so richly drawn, compelling and side-achingly funny that you’ll discover yourself wanting to build your own Nieuport so you can join the Dawn Patrol and be a part of the act. “Fokkers At Six O’Clock” will do that—and make you laugh out loud. Sounds like a hit to me.  

--Marc Cook, editor in chief, Kitplanes
